allegedly Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 Hi guys. Simple topic here. I was going to pm a fellow member who'd posted about retro fitting adjustable headlights when I realised I might not be the only one who doesn't know the correct procedure for this. If I was to park up facing a wall to adjust the lights; a. How far from the wall should the front be? b. Drawing an imaginary line from each headlight, should the 'spot' be directly infront or offset at all? c. How high should the 'spot' be above floor level? I don't generally tow but I'd guess this might affect the position. Would you carry out this procedure with the lights on dipped or high beam? Sorry if these questions seem a bit 'noddy' to our more knowledgeable bretheren but I don't know and I'd like to get it right first time as opposed to 'fannying' around and getting dazzled by people coming the other way thinking i'm on full beam!!

teabag Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 The link below may help, but if not just do a google search like I did. But the correct way to setup your headlights is with a beam setter to manufactures and mot standards. http://www.carinsurance.com/Articles/content169.aspx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allegedly Posted November 8, 2009 Author Share Posted November 8, 2009 Thanks for the reply Teabag, nice simple instructions on that site. I'm going to google it too and look into the MOT standards. As uaual, the guys come through. Cheers Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
